Yahweh’s Answer

19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,

(A)If you return, then I will cause you to return—
(B)Before Me you will stand;
And (C)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My mouthpiece.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.
20 Then I will (D)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And they will fight against you,
But they will not prevail against you,
For (E)I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
21 “So I will (F)deliver you from the hand of the evil ones,
And I will (G)redeem you from the [b]grasp of the ruthless ones.”
